Routing

const express = require("express");
const { register } = require("./dynarest.js");

const app = express();

// add json support to express app
app.use(express.json());

// register dynarest routes with the express app
await register(app, {
  autoCreate: false, // automatically create the table if it doesn't exist
  addMethod: "POST", // HTTP method for adding data. default is "PUT"
  debug: false, // set to true for informational logging
  endpoint: 'http://localhost:9000', // useful if running DynamoDB locally
  ignoreProps: ["_private"], // remove these properties from items before processing
  key: "uuid", // Primary Hash Key for the DynamoDB Table
  local: false, // Optional, running DynamoDB locally
  prefix: 'api', // prefix to add before each route
  region: "us-east-1",
  schema, // Ajv Schema for items in DynamoDB table, see https://ajv.js.org/
  table: 'cars', // the name of the database table (will be created if missing)
  timestamp: true, // add a timestamp attribute to each item when created
  uuid: true // add a uuid attribute to each item when created
});
